Oh. Whoops.

I like immersive games.

I like immersive games a lot.

Surfacing from new immersive games to find it's 6AM and you played the night through, not so much.

(Crusader Kings, if anyone was wondering - it was on offer on Steam)

(And now if you'll excuse me I have to go let my shoulders and knees scream at me for sitting for far too long - probably just as well I'm going to be away from the gaming PC for a fortnight come Tuesday, it'll let the initial addictive rush peter out when I'm away from it).

Oh the immersive delight of the computer. It takes me so deep I no longer process the pain. When I finally "come to," I wish I could dive right back down.

I almost wish I could make an "annoying interface": a lousy keyboard, a crummy monitor, other built-in obsession-prevention tools. But the computer is too much of a mind prosthetic for me to accept less than is possible.
